Swift at Artsy Post - Githubissues

Idea
- Where did the idea come from? Our own values, a desire to learn, celebrating learning, spreading knowledge of engineering in an Arts*Science company.
- Done in the summer when we had some extra downtime
Implementation
- How did we do it? What physical steps did we take?
- Planning, Slack room, open source.
- Two courses (beginner + informed) with an instructor/TA pair, switching between the two.
Struggles
- Xcode betas ಠ_ಠ Installation etc was difficult
- Explaining fundamental concepts is difficult, presented a good challenge
- Difficult to round up informed team, wasn't a priority for them
Impact (internal + external)
- Translation into Chinese
- Suggestions from community
- Quotes from team: beginners understanding code more, and informed comparing Swift to Scala.
- Getting Sarah on board with Swift
- Talk to Ani and Alessandra about this. Orta has some emails from people in a Slack DM with me
